Marine One lifted from Ft McNair Saturday. The first two landed after flying directly overhead, and one other stayed in orbit. After boarding all three flew to Delaware.

TROY Flight. Departed KFRG using the callsign TROY 215 then in the JFK area changed it to TROY 194. Mentioned destination was Michigan.

The 3 UH-60 Customs Blackhawks went right over me here in Detroit heading for Selfridge. I wasn't able to get out of the house quick enough to see them go by. I forgot to watch for them on ADSB.

TROY 215 FLIGHT
120.150 MTC twr, 02:22pm. #1, N72763. #2, 0872760. #3, 0872764.


Passing just west of me. I should've just looked out the window in my house instead of trying to run outside. 😡

North of me heading for MTC.

1500 local NOBLE-11,12 look to be going RTB Barnes as storm/rain front moves in A/A 263.850
working clearance on ZDC 307.250 RBV to Deerpark for arrival.

WX doesn't bother the TEAL's though enroute home from Rhode Island after Fiona chase.
They are fine flying right thru it.

US Delegation on way to Alaska stop from Andrews then onto Japan for Prime Min Abe funeral.
SPAR-21 C-40C #05-0932
SAM-708 #98-0001 prob AF-2.
SAM-071 #98-0002.

SPAR 21 made the Alaska stop at Anchorage Airport, SAM 788 and SAM 071 went to Elmendorf AFB.

All three planes are now headed for the NOPAC tracks and R220 (as a crosscheck, all of the original waypoints begin with the letter 'N') for the crossing to Yokota AB, Japan.

MC 3091 is SPAR 21's ADS-C alter ego target.

I see the HMS QE Carrier arrived in NYC Sunday.
Should eventually work down this way to play with US Navy at Norfolk perhaps.
Supposedly spotted with just a couple Merlin choppers aboard so may see them on ADSBX flying around the area.
